JTA -r- Jewish leaders continued to express shock and
anger over the decision by
Pope John Paul II to grant
an audience to President
Kurt Waldheim of Austria,
whose alleged complicity in
Nazi atrocities during World
War II has made him unwelcome in most of the world.
In Rome, Tullia Zevi,
president of the Federation
of Italian Jewish Communities, said the meeting "could
have negative consequences
on relations between Catho:
lies and Jews."
Chief Rabbi Rene Sirat of
France called it an "intolerable" insult to the memory
of Nazi victims. In New
York, Theodore Mann, president of the American Jewish
Congress, urged the Pope to
reconsider.
The Vatican announced
last week that the Pope will
receive Waldheim there on
June 25. Waldheim,' a prac-
ticing Catholic, will be accompanied by Austrian
Foreign Minister Alois Mock
on what will be Waldheim's
first trip abroad since his
controversial election last
July.
A spokesman for the Italian government said that
President Pietro Cossiga
will not meet with the Austrian President "because of
the internal political situation." But Foreign Minister
Giulio Andreotti will confer
with .Mock while he is in
Rome, the spokesman said.
He added that Waldheim
would be greeted at the airport with "all the courtesy
due a foreign President."
The only reaction from Israel was a brief statement
by a Foreign Ministry
spokesman who said that the
Vatican's invitation "surprised the Jewish world and
the State of Israel." He
added, "We wonder what
were its motives and we condemn the decision."
Reactions were especially
strong in the United States,
where the Justice Department recently placed Waldheim on its "watch list" of
undesirable foreigners
barred from entering the
country. Several American
Jewish groups hinted that it
could affect Jewish attitudes
toward ths Pope when he
visits the U.S. next September.
Mann said, the Pontiff's
meeting with Waldheim
"would temper the enthusiasm with which leadership
anticipates the Pope's forthcoming visit to the United
States." The Synagogue
Council of America, which
represents the rabbinic and
congregational organizations of Reform, Conservative and Orthodox Judaism,
warned that "These developments cast a dark cloud on
Jewish-Vatican relations
and on the scheduled meeting of the Pope with leaders
of the American Jewish community in Miami on Sept.
11."
Theodore Ellenoff, president of the American Jewish
Committee, said the Pope's
decision to receive Waldheim "with full 'state honors' is morally and politically incomprehensible."
Ellenoff observed that, "It
would be altogether a matter
